Dinner: last of the veggies from the chicken in the pot, TJs italian sausage

Exercise: ice skating class x 1 hr.  It was fun!!!

Feelings: annoyed at myself-I got some grocery shopping done after class and got 10 lbs of chicken thigs for 5 bucks, but then when I was trimming them getting them ready to freeze I sliced my finger.  Ow.  Feeling a little skinnier.  Really want to check the scale.  Like, real bad.

Feelings: was really tired earlier today.  My right eye is really bothering me-watering for a few days but now has goopy stuff making me worried it's infected.  Feeling better after my evening walk overall.  My skin has gotten a lot more smooth

Day 9/7

Breakfast: chia pudding with homemade almond milk, apples, walnuts (didn't love the walnuts)

Lunch: tortilla soup with quarter of avocado and leftover pork from last week.  Was better than I thought.  Orange

Dinner: leftover chicken pot veggies (chicken gone).  Some broiled cod with lemon and thyme to try and make it meld with the chicken pot veggies, but it didn't work, so tomorrow I'm just going to have a piece of italian sausage with the remaining veggies

Snack: banana after dinner.  Carb loading at the end of the day!  Probably not the best idea

Exercise: none really.  Oops.

Feeling: so so so sleepy.  Maybe it's the daylight savings time switch?  I'm seriously exhausted.  I got home, fixed dinner, finished a book, and now am going to watch  movie and most likely fall asleep.  It's 8:15pm.

Day 8/6

Breakfast: breakfast hash with sweet potatoes, onion, red pepper, rosemary, and 2 eggs
Lunch: leftover chicken pot, strawberries
Dinner: apples, bananas, almond butter

Exercise: Walked maybe 2 miles

Breakfast: omlette with caramelized peppers and onions, salsa
Lunch: orange, leftover chili, strawberries
Dinner: roasted chicken pot with cabbage, carrots

Day 5/3

Lunch: leftover chili again

Dinner: Red peppers stuffed with a sweet potato/spinach/onion/pork/enchilada sauce concoction and some fresh made guacamole.  The guac was so good

Snack: more walnuts

Exercise: I did Scott's exercises for his PT and I did 30 minute cardio from Les Mills Combat

Feelings: so tired.  Kind of blah overall.  I was really sluggish with exercising, but that's probably more do the fact I'm carrying around 10 lbs more than my norm (though this has been my norm for the past 2 years).

Day 4/2

Didn't post yesterday because Scott needed the computer

Breakfast: Homemade egg salad with homemade may.  It was good but really rich.  Also, I didn't feel like eating.  Blood orange.

Lunch: Leftover chili.  Good.  I didn't feel like eating.

Snack: apple with almond butter.  The only thing I wanted to eat all day

Dinner: Leftover pork taco salad.  Good.  Didn't feel like eating.  Got annoyed because I had to spend another hr prepping dinner for the next day.  I feel like all I do is work and go to the kitchen and prep food.


Exercise: Walked home from work.  It had been nice out but by the time I left work it was cloudy and gross.  Blah.

Feelings: I had this dream that Scott's boss found out I did my political internship 13 years ago and decided I needed a celebratory party and they had tables and tables of food I couldn't eat.  It was sad.  For some reason Scott's sister was there and knew about the whole30 so she at least could empathize a bit.  I feel cranky and don't feel like eating anything besides fruit.  LIke, I just want an enormous pineapple.  I got on Amazon and ordered some lemon Larabars because apparently they are compliant, but then I read their thing and saw they said don't eat them a lot because your body thinks they're candy bars.  And then I dreamed of making chocolate almond chia seed pudding and again, read on their thing that although all that stuff is compliant, it's technically against the program.  Ugh.  Going to make almond milk this weekend to eat over berries for breakfast because I'm already sick of eggs.

Day 3/Day1

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with some spinach and tomatoes in it.  Salsa on top
Lunch: Chili (homemade.  It was good)
Dinner: Pork taco salad.  That pork was amazing!

Exercise: walked to and from work, about 3.5 miles

Feelings: I already know I'm going to get sick of eggs.  Grrr.  My uterus hurts, but at least it's not my head.  I should drink more water because that pork was REALLY salty

Food for tomorrow: Made egg salad for breakfast since I have conference in the morning so I won't have a ton of time to eat.  Leftovers for lunch and dinner.  We have a lot of pork.

Day 2

I ate some cheerios tonight so I guess I'm on day 0 again.

Breakfast: coconut milk with chia seeds

Lunch: 2 hard boiled eggs, tuna salad with lettuce, blood orange

Snack: apple, almond butter

Dinner: cheerios/milk






How I felt: migraine this afternoon.  AAAAH.  Intestines felt rough after cereal/milk, but it is that time of the month

Day 1

Had a late afternoon snack:
Tuna salad with avocado, hot sauce, lime juice
Apple with almond butter
Almonds
Hard boiled egg

Dinner:
Asparagus
Meatballs

Made some awesome homemade bread for Scott to eat with the meatball sauce but I couldn't have any.  Also, couldn't have the Parmesan on the meatballs or asparagus which was annoying.
Made homemade ice cream because we have a ton of milk and it's going to go bad.  Chocolate peanut butter.  None of which I can have.  Going to give it to the home teachers.  I always eat dessert on Sundays and am craving it.

Weight: 144
How I feel: headache.  Want chocolate.  This is already annoying.


Food for tomorrow: prepped coconut milk chia pudding with apple and walnut for breakfast.  Tuna and eggs for lunch.  Orange for lunch.  Plan for dinner was going to be to cook up some pork for a taco salad, but didn't go buy the pork yesterday, so I have no idea what dinner will be.  I guess eggs.

Whole30

Sorta started whole30 but end up eating leftover pizza from the best place in Columbus, and then I figured I'd eat some peanut butter and chocolate since I already failed anyway.

Today I ate:
Breakfast: 2 eggs with redpeppers, 1/2 avocado, 1 blood orange
Lunch: 1 leftover piece sausage fennel pizza and 1 piece margaretia pizza.  piece of cheese.  Some peanut butter.  Handful of walnuts.  2 pieces of dove chocolate.  chocolate green drink because we have SO MUCH MILK
Dinner: red curry with bok choy, pineapple, red peppers.  2 pieces dove chocolate.  1 piece toblerone

So I guess first whole30 is tomorrow.
Menu plan:
Breakfast/Lunch: Fast Sunday
Dinner: meatballs and grilled asparagus and salad.  Scott gets homemade bread
